Halvah is one particular of individuals points I come across surprisingly addictive. The to start with time I experienced it as a kid, I was not ridiculous about it. I found it to be a minor “pasty” and experienced an odd taste I couldn’t fairly describe. But for some explanation, I retained likely back again to it, and right before I realized it, I found myself having it ideal out of the crystal clear, inexperienced lidded tub with a fork. Not precisely the greatest issue an over weight ten yr outdated could be doing… but hey, I was a foodie youngster, what can I say?

The filling is a mixture of coconut cream and tahini whipped with a couple of tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar and a minor bit of almond flour to bind it together. The pistachios on top give it a minor crunch, and the pomegranate molasses increase some acidity to offset the sweetness a minor bit.
